Step 2: Do one of the following:

To unzip a single file or folder, open the zipped folder, then drag the file or folder from the zipped folder to a new location.

To unzip all the contents of the zipped folder, press and hold (or right-click) the folder, select Extract All..., and then follow the instructions.

Refer to Microsoft FAQs for more details.

For iOS Users:

Step 1: Open the Files app, then find the ZIP file or archive you want to uncompress.

Step 2: Tap the ZIP file or archive.

Step 3: A folder is created containing the files. To change its name, touch and hold on the folder, then tap Rename.
